I’d wait the 6 weeks as advised girl you might feel ok but your uterus has a wound in it still from the placenta you’d only risk bacteria getting in by going for it too soon. Another few weeks I’d say let yourself heal properly xx
I would also wait 6 weeks. I'm just over 2 weeks PP, and as much as I would like to get back into it, my stitches are still giving me grief, and I'm trying to get contraception sorted out because we're most fertile in the first month or so after giving birth! But also, your cervix needs time to get back to normal as it can remain dilated for some time after birth, which increases risk of infection
I tried at 6 weeks after my first and immediately went NOPE, it just felt all wrong and uncomfortable. Let myself recover a bit longer after that 😅
The 6 week wait is less to do with your vaginal healing, and more to do with the wound where your placenta was (internal). Apparently the wound is the size of a dinner plate after birth, so the recommended 6 weeks is to allow this to heal and prevent infection xx
They recommend 6 weeks to prevent risk of infection
